ACTIVATE - EXPLORING QUEER JOY THROUGH ARTS & CRAFTS
2025-08-10 14:00 - 17:00
For queer youth aged 14–19 | Free & all materials included!

Being a young queer person isn’t always easy—especially when the world feels heavy. We’re often expected to speak from a place of pain, to justify our existence, or to explain why our rights matter. But queerness is also joy. It’s power. It’s creativity, connection, and the future we dream of building together.

This month’s ACTIVATE session is all about reclaiming that joy.Join us for an afternoon of vision board-style collaging, conversation, and reflection on what makes queerness beautiful. We’ll create space to explore our hopes, dreams, and the things that give us strength when things get tough.

We’ll have:🖍️ Magazines, cut-outs, colorful paper, and craft supplies🖼️ Plenty of time to share (or not!) in a supportive space💬 Open conversations about joy, identity, and the futures we imagine

Feel free to bring your own materials too—if you’d like to add a personal touch!

Meet your supervisors:

emily (she/they) – a passionate youth worker who loves building and maintaining community, focusing on her special interests and finding new ways to live their authentic self.

Imọlẹ (they/them) – a poet-singer-writer + learning coach, unapologetically cute femme boi, seeking to create a more just world filled with queer joy through art and empathy.

📍 Villa Vida Café, Linke Wienzeile 102, 1060 Vienna💖 This is a free event for queer youth aged 14–19🆓 All materials are included

Come make something beautiful with us. 🌟

Lavender Lounge - Arts & Crafts Club
2025-08-13 16:00 - 18:00, 2025-08-27 16:00 - 18:00
Join us for Lavender Lounge, an arts and crafts club at Villa Vida. Every other Wednesday from 4-6pm, bring your own art supplies and enjoy a vibrant space to create, connect, and share your craft in community. Whether you’re painting, knitting, sketching, or working on any creative project, Lavender Lounge welcomes all who seek inspiration and camaraderie through art.

Lavender has a rich history in queer culture, symbolizing empowerment and resilience. During the 1940s and 50s, the color became a quiet emblem of identity and defiance, especially in the face of the “Lavender Scare,” when queer individuals were targeted and removed from government jobs in the U.S.

Today, lavender remains a symbol of remembrance and resistance. At Lavender Lounge, we honor this legacy by gathering in creative expression, building community, and celebrating the strength and beauty of queer history and art.

Komm zur Lavender Lounge, einem Arts-and-Crafts-Club im Villa Vida! Jeden zweiten Mittwoch von 16 bis 18 Uhr – bringe deine eigenen Materialien mit und genieße einen lebendigen Raum, um kreativ zu sein, Kontakte zu knüpfen und dein Handwerk in Gemeinschaft zu teilen. Ob du malst, strickst, zeichnest oder an einem anderen kreativen Projekt arbeitest, die Lavender Lounge heißt alle willkommen, die Inspiration und Gemeinschaft durch Kunst suchen.

Lavendel hat eine bedeutende Geschichte in der queeren Kultur und steht für Ermächtigung und Widerstandskraft. In den 1940er und 50er Jahren wurde die Farbe zu einem stillen Symbol für Identität und Widerstand, besonders während der „Lavender Scare“, als queere Menschen in den USA gezielt verfolgt und aus Regierungsstellen entfernt wurden.

Heute bleibt Lavendel ein Symbol des Gedenkens und Widerstands. In der Lavender Lounge ehren wir dieses Erbe, indem wir uns im kreativen Ausdruck vereinen, Gemeinschaft aufbauen und die Stärke und Schönheit der queeren Geschichte und Kunst feiern.

I'm Your Venus Documentary Screening
2025-08-22 20:00 - 22:00
🎬 Queer Docu Screening: I’m Your Venus (2024)

📽️ About the Film

We’ll be screening this documentary this Friday evening at Villa Vida! Feel free to join. “Sister, daughter, trans icon. In this moving portrait of slain ‘Paris is Burning’ Star Venus Xtravaganza, her loved ones unite to reopen her cold case”.

I’m Your Venus is a deeply moving documentary directed by Kimberly Reed (known for Prodigal Sons and Dark Money) that revisits the life and legacy of Venus Xtravaganza, a trans woman whose story was immortalized in the landmark film Paris Is Burning. The documentary, which premiered at the 2024 Tribeca Film Festival, focuses on the efforts of Venus’s biological family—the Pellagattis—and the House of Xtravaganza to seek justice, honor her identity, and reclaim her legacy through legal avenues such as pursuing a posthumous name change and advocating for official recognition of her birthplace as a heritage site.

⚠️ Content Notes

I’m Your Venus contains discussions of transphobia, violence, sex work, and suicide. Please care for yourself and step out if you need to.

Why This Matters

I’m Your Venus offers both an intimate exploration of Venus Xtravaganza’s family and chosen family and a broader commentary on trans visibility, legacy, and justice. The film avoids sensationalism; it centers the people left behind and the emotional consequences of violence and erasure.

The documentary is in English. German or English subtitles will be added as requested by attendees.
